Liang Shuming was one of the famous Confucians and outstanding democrats of the last century, but at the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in 1953, his speech caused a surprising scene.
Although Liang Shuming has been advising on China's construction, his views are too extreme.
Because China focused on the development of heavy industry at that time, Liang Shuming believed that the peasants were the most important part of social construction, which made his views contradict the background of the times.
After raising questions at the meeting, Liang Shuming was not harshly criticized, but was let to his own devices. However, at the meeting on the second day, ** personally came forward to refute Liang Shuming's statement and criticized it.
** Firm attitude, stern tone pointed out that Liang Shuming's views are absurd and incorrect. However, Liang Shuming did not recognize the bias of his own views, but became more stubborn.
This open dispute eventually led to Liang Shuming being bombarded by the masses. Liang Shuming's fall has sounded the alarm for people and aroused people's consciousness that they should respect the development of the times and social progress.
Liang Shuming was confused and angry at ***'s criticism at the meeting, so he wrote to *** overnight to express his views. However, although he re-emphasized his position in the letter, he was still unable to get *** to understand his position.
Soon after, the two had a short interview, but the result was predictable, ** left in a hurry, and Liang Shuming was not understood. At the meeting a few days later, Mr. Liang again tried to add to his previous reaction.
However, before that, ** had already harshly criticized Liang Shuming's reaction at the meeting, calling him a "hypocrite" with bad intentions and ambitions.
In the face of such severe criticism, Liang Shuming did not try to release himself, but continued to repeat his previous rhetoric. Liang Shuming's persistence and pedantry made *** angry, and the relationship between the two fell to a freezing point.
So, at the next day's meeting, they argued in front of everyone in the Great Hall of the People. It can be said that Liang Shuming has set a record, which is the first time since the founding of New China that someone has publicly opposed *** on such an occasion
As the argument escalated, the rhetoric on both sides became more and more intense.
Liang Shuming said bluntly: "I want to finish my words!".* After a long silence, he said, "Give you half an hour!."When Liang Shuming came to the stage, he thought he would defend his previous statement, but he always insisted on his previous views.
As soon as he said the first words, the crowd shouted, "Get down!."Liang Shuming, get down!In the face of everyone's excitement, Liang Shuming could only end his speech.
Liang Shuming is a well-known contemporary scholar who was born in Beijing in 1893. Although they were born on the same day, the same year, the same month, and the same year, they chose a completely different path.
Perhaps influenced by his family background, Liang Shuming has been yearning for literature since he was a child. At the age of six, he was sent by his parents to study in a private school.
At that time, ordinary people could not survive in society, but fortunately, Liang Shuming's family conditions were relatively good. He completed his studies and gained a deep understanding of the social phenomena of the time.
It can be said that no Chinese will stand idly by in the face of the social problems of the time, especially a highly educated person like Liang Shuming.
Liang Shuming, a literati with ambitions to serve the motherland, did not hesitate to join the rise of the famous patriotic organization of the time, the League, and gradually came into contact with the influence of advanced ideas. His acquaintance with the chairman is thanks to the chairman's teacher, Yang Changji.
In the initial stages of acquaintance, they often talked late at night, and there was a sense of mutual appreciation. However, the minds of the two began to diverge during the Sino-Japanese War.
At that time, Liang Shuming was a member of Chinese society that had generally lost hope in the War of Resistance Against Japan. However, the chairman firmly declared: "China's War of Resistance will definitely be won!"During their meeting, this issue was raised several times.
As we all know, the war of liberation was inevitable, and the chairman knew no one better than Chiang Kai-shek, and he would never let go of this opportunity to change the pattern of the world.
However, as a democrat, Liang Shuming is inclined to accept peace talks, which the chairman refutes. Although they have long since disagreed, the affection between them has not changed.
The chairman was well aware of Liang Shuming's personality, and he took the persistence of intellectuals to the extreme, but also saw their stubbornness and intolerance. The chairman once used "no one is perfect" to evaluate Liang Shuming, which shows that he knows him very well.
Subsequently, Liang Shuming also realized that his views were skewed, and the chairman's idea was the best choice for China's development at the moment. Although they look at the problem from different angles and thus have a dispute, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.
Conclusion: The original intention of Liang Shuming's predecessors was correct, but it was not suitable for the needs of the country. In his later years, Liang Shuming was full of admiration when he mentioned the chairman, and even named his grandson "Qindong" to miss ***
